Assistant State’s Attorney Maureen McGee said Ruiz knew the boy and took him to a wooded area where he drank alcoholic beverages and smoked marijuana with the boy. The boy was 11 at the time, she said.

Ruiz led the boy to his residence where he sexually assaulted him, McGee said. The boy eventually told his mother, McGee said.

At the time of his arrest, Ruiz had been free on bail and awaiting trial for battery and has prior arrests for aggravated assault, McGee said. His next court date is July 12.
